When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 77 On the road

The number one genius of Dongxia, Mu Yaoguang, returned yesterday!

Shocking! Youth Cup Champion Suspected of Mastering a Skill That Allows Him to Live on Air and Dew

From activating his internal energy to becoming the number one in Dongxia, it only took him two months.

The Appearance of a Second Mu Yaoguang?

Why Xi Yuheng Can't Get Headlines

On the speeding train, Bai Ze almost burst out laughing when he saw the last news item.

Good news: Although Xi Yuheng didn't make the headlines, his popularity is still quite high.

Bad news... at least for Xi Yuheng, it's bad news. His trending topic recounts his repeated near misses with headlines and the reasons behind them.

The day after the competition ended, Bai Ze had already left Yujing Martial Arts University.

Because Bai Ze performed so well this time, coupled with Mu Yaoguang's appearance, there are paparazzi everywhere outside Yujing Martial Arts University, and some even use their martial arts skills to climb over mountains and sneak in.

As a result, Yujing Martial Arts University ultimately decided to use a dedicated train or helicopter on campus to send Bai Ze away.

Given that Bai Ze had used quite a few elbow strikes in the past two days, in order to avoid any accidents, Bai Ze, the old principal... and Xia Xingde, the other two, left by train.

They're in the car now.

"Hey, Lao Yang, how did you know my student became the best in Dongxia in just two months?"

"So what if it's the Junior Cup? The first place in Dongxia is still the first place. You know, I was completely stunned. My student became the first place in Dongxia..."

The old principal sat opposite Bai Ze, excitedly talking on his phone.

His boasting was so over-the-top that the other party couldn't take it anymore and hung up the phone.

The old principal wasn't annoyed and immediately dialed the number of the next victim.

"Old Li, how did you know my student became the best in Dongxia in just two months?"

"What? No one knows a son better than his father? Die, Old Li!"

"Hahahaha..." Xia Xingde laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight when he heard this. "No one knows a son better than his father. Hahaha, I didn't even know I had a cousin."

"Shut up, too!"

The old principal said it in a bad mood, but judging from his expression, he was quite annoyed.

And as time goes on, the old principal will feel even more sour, and is expected to enjoy it until next year.

When Bai Ze enrolls in Yujing Martial Arts University next year, he can continue to enjoy himself.

Thinking about that future, the old principal couldn't help but smile.

Thinking this, the old principal looked at Bai Ze with a broad smile. He had truly had a keen eye for talent back then, discovering such a gifted individual.

"By the way, Xiao Ze, Yuqing Heavy Industry contacted me last night, saying they want you to be the spokesperson for their Xiaolian series. What do you think?" The old principal suddenly seemed to remember something and asked Bai Ze.

Ozawa...
Upon hearing these two words, Bai Ze immediately thought of a president who was a comedian, and then of a Japanese teacher.

"Just call me Bai Ze."

Bai Ze strongly urged the old principal to change his form of address, then said, "I refuse. I don't want to waste my energy on these things."

His time was quite tight afterward. To practice the *Cantongqi*, he needed to pass the relevant theoretical exams after enrolling in Yujing Martial Arts University, so he had to cram intensively. He also needed to cultivate both his inner and outer strength to build up his physique.

Bai Ze doesn't need that endorsement fee at all right now.

He's already become the top dog in Dongxia, which has proven his worth. Of course, he'll take the money directly from the old principal and someone behind him.

Why bother being a spokesperson when you can get investment without lifting a finger?

And this person didn't hesitate either; the fragment of "Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm" that he received yesterday was one of his additional investments.

If anyone else had won, this "Sheathless Sword Drawing Technique" would truly have been just a basic sword drawing technique.

They even brought out a fragment of a divine skill like "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand," which sounds incredibly high-class. Taking a little money is just a piece of cake for them.

"Okay, then let's reject them. And reject all the other random ones as well."

The old principal also expressed his strong agreement, skipping over the topic and saying, "You don't need to worry about money, at least not for now. As for Qiming Orphanage, I have a villa in Jinxiuhu Community. Let's move the orphanage there in the future. The environment there is good, and the security is adequate."

"In addition, your military service certificate is also settled. The Canghai City Martial Arts Association branch has agreed to give you an executive officer position. Once you become an executive officer, your military service certificate will be issued."

It has to be said that the old principal is really efficient; he can get things done directly.

This is the route...
"I never imagined you, Principal, had fallen into corruption too," Bai Ze remarked.

"That's called flexibility."

The old principal corrected him, "It's not like you can't get your military license. I'm just saving you the hassle. As for the job as an executive officer, you don't need to worry. The Canghai City branch just wants to use you for advertising. You can just show up at the Martial Arts Association occasionally."

"Isn't this just a paycheck thief?" Bai Ze's expression became even more strange.

Principal, you're an idealist, yet you're doing all this. Aren't you just like that guy surnamed Qu?

"Executors are just more convenient for carrying out certain tasks," the old headmaster explained irritably. "For example, in a mission to hunt down cultists, they get assistance and intelligence support from local sheriffs. If you're willing to enjoy these benefits, consider it my corruption. As for salary, there is no salary; executors earn points through missions."

To enjoy these benefits, one must take on tasks, something the old principal was more than happy to do.

The old principal continued, "This is actually to make it easier for you to accept things in the future. As you know, Dongxia has its own national conditions, and sometimes seniority matters more."

Bai Ze: "..."

That's why he felt this world was strangely familiar; in some ways it was exactly the same as his previous life.

Even the tide of martial arts cannot wash away the cultural imprint of Dongxia over thousands of years.

Qualifications are something that can be useful in some ways, but can also be completely useless in others.

If there is a significant gap in ability, even the highest level of experience won't help.

Conversely, if the abilities are equal, then seniority might come in handy. At the very least, seniority can be used to hinder one's competitors and annoy them.

"Anyway, you don't need to worry about any of that. The most important thing for you now is to improve yourself."

The old headmaster smiled and said that none of this mattered, and then asked with concern, "How is your practice of that technique going?"

He was asking about the "sword-drawing technique without a sheath," or rather, the fragments of "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand."

With such a prestigious title, the difficulty of cultivation is naturally not low.

"It's alright," Bai Ze replied.
